About Us

Who We Are

Established in 1981, the Greater Seattle Business Association (GSBA) is the largest LGBTQ and allied chamber of commerce in North America. We represent over 1,300 small business, corporate, and nonprofit members who share the values of promoting equality and diversity in the workplace.
